Something to Ask

The path leading from the stream to the sea was overgrown with weeds. Whenever Yan Zixia and her Great-Grandmother came, they would fly over from the sky. Ever since her great-grandmother entrusted Yue Qianchou to her, she had never come again. She knew what her Great-Grandmother was thinking.

A man and a woman walked quietly along the riverbank. Although they couldn't fly as fast, Yan Zixia was happy to walk slowly. Where there was originally no path, they had already trodden a trail along the riverbank. Yue Qianchou always lagged behind her by half a step, his attitude very respectful.

Walking ahead, Yan Zixia bit her lip. During the time they had been together, they had hardly spoken any private words. As she walked slowly, she tried to speak several times, but the topics she had prepared would vanish as soon as she opened her mouth, and she ultimately remained silent.

She wanted to take the initiative to make amends, but because of her long-standing superior status, she couldn't bring herself to lower herself; she wasn't used to doing so. Should she take the initiative or not? This question kept nagging at her.

In fact, Yue Qianchou's mind was racing. He was thinking about how to talk to Yan Zixia, since he had always been her assistant, and he wondered if she would agree to let him refine pills himself.

Damn it! I've already done something as shameless as kneeling, so why am I afraid of this? Yue Qianchou cleared his throat and chuckled, "Martial Aunt Yan! This disciple would like to ask you for a favor."

Yan Zixia grew increasingly annoyed by this form of address, which unnecessarily created such a significant generational gap between two people of roughly the same age. She stopped, her brows furrowing slightly, and asked in a somewhat stiff tone, "What is it?" She immediately regretted it, wondering why she could never seem to change her tone of voice.

"This disciple greatly admires Master Uncle's alchemy skills. Well... you see, I've followed you for so long, and even if I haven't achieved anything, I've certainly put in the effort. This disciple also wants to experience the taste of alchemy. Master Uncle, could you let me have a go?" Yue Qianchou pleaded.

"Is that all?" Yan Zixia asked, sounding somewhat disappointed.

Yue Qianchou was afraid she wouldn't agree, so he tentatively asked, "Uncle-Master, is it alright?"

Just as Yan Zixia was about to speak, she suddenly realized that this was an opportunity. She paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile sweetly.

Her beautiful smile bloomed like a flower, which startled Yue Qianchou. He thought to himself, "This girl is really hot. If it weren't for the fact that she's with that terrifying old lady, Aunt Grandma Ma Jiu, I would definitely try to have a taste of her."

Seeing Yue Qianchou staring at her as if he were drooling, Yan Zixia was secretly delighted. If anyone else had looked at her like that, they would probably have gotten angry. She had always been proud of her looks, but Yue Qianchou had almost made her lose confidence lately. Little did she know that Yue Qianchou was worried about Grandma Ma Jiu.

A man like Yue Qianchou is definitely not a good person. He is absolutely powerless against beautiful women. As long as he thinks someone is beautiful, he will have the urge to pursue her. As for whether he will actually pursue her, it is entirely up to his self-righteous moral bottom line.

He conducts himself in the same way, without any distinction between good and bad. Whether something is right or wrong depends entirely on his own self-imposed moral code, which is subject to change at any time. He could be considered a fickle gentleman. It's not that he lacks morality, but rather that most of the time, his instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm prevails.

This can be seen from what happened in the Sang Cao Garden. In order to obtain the spirit herb seeds, he once coveted Yan Zixia, but unfortunately, the conditions did not allow it. When he was bored, he wanted to woo the beauties in the Sang Cao Garden, but the conditions did not allow it either. He also coveted Elder Lan Bingxue, a beautiful young woman in the Sang Cao Garden, but sometimes one has to face reality. In the face of absolute strength, it is best to honestly hide one's little thoughts.

Although Qu Ping'er played a major role in making him kneel before Grandma Ma Jiu, it was out of necessity. He wouldn't have knelt if there had been no other way, and besides, sometimes saving face is less important than practical benefits. To paraphrase a saying he learned in his previous life as a soldier, flexible and adaptable strategies and tactics are the Law Treasure to victory. At least, that's how he comforted himself afterward, thinking that kneeling was a smart move!

So why would Qu Ping'er hold a place in his heart? Was it because of Qu Ping'er beauty? No. Beauty? He could easily pursue her and have his way with her; it wasn't a big deal to him.

The reason is both simple and complex. Every man has a high ground in his heart that will eventually be occupied by a woman. The more messy and chaotic a man's experiences are, the better he protects this high ground. Sometimes he doesn't even know it himself, and it is difficult for others to touch.

Qu Ping'er succeeded by sheer chance. Men often go crazy for women like this. Some men are willing to give up anything for such women—money, beauty, power—all the things men cherish most. Some are even willing to give up being an emperor or having their empire.

Given this, will Yue Qianchou love only Qu Ping'er for the rest of his life, or will he never cheat on her and remain physically faithful to her alone? Well... who knows? You'll have to judge for yourself. But emotionally, I can guarantee that.

When Yan Zixia saw that the person she secretly loved was attracted by her appearance, her confidence returned, and her thoughts became clearer.

"You just want to refine pills yourself? Fine, I agree."

Yue Qianchou happily bowed and said, "Thank you, Martial Aunt Yan. Thank you Martial Aunt Yan."

"Don't thank me yet. I still have something to ask you. You can thank me after you answer my questions to my satisfaction," Yan Zixia said with a coquettish smile. Her full breasts subconsciously puffed out, one of her proudest assets and what she considered one of the ways to attract men. However, it was quite unprecedented for her to do something like this to a man.

Unfortunately, Yue Qianchou together, and that saying is absolutely true. These two, grandmother and granddaughter, are exactly the same when it comes to making promises."

There was nothing he could do; he had to ask for help himself, so he had to keep his opinions to himself. He respectfully said, "Please ask, Uncle-Master."

After Yan Zixia straightened her chest, her face flushed first. Fortunately, the other person didn't notice. She felt annoyed and a little disappointed. She took a breath, calmed herself down, and slowly said, "I know you are Yue Qianchou from the Qingguang Sect. Don't deny it, and don't rush to deny it. Let me finish what I have to say. I'm saying this for no other purpose, and I won't tell anyone about your affairs. You can rest assured."

Damn it! How can I feel at ease when you have my hands on me! Yue Qianchou's face twitched as he said, "Just ask whatever you want to say!" Now that his secrets have been exposed, there's no need to be polite and call him Uncle-Master anymore.
